Though Nintendo's online service is launching soon, full information is sparse. One piece of knowledge has been revealed recently, likely accidentally due to the delayed direct, however, in regards to cloud saves. If you pay for Nintendo Switch Online, which gives you cloud save support, you might want to know that not all of your games will be compatible. Certain listings for games on Nintendo's site specify that they will not work with Save Data Cloud backup. These listings include Pokemon Let's Go, Splatoon 2, Dark Souls Remastered, Dead Cells, FIFA 19, NBA 2K19, and NBA Playgrounds.

For the above games that are multiplatform, they do indeed support cloud save support on other consoles with PlayStation Plus and Xbox Live Gold.

Nintendo Switch Online membership (sold separately) and Nintendo Account required for online play. This game does not support Save Data Cloud backup.

Ok Nintendo, you messed up. Way to do a 360 dunk to the trashcan with a console... (less exagerated version: this sucks. a lot.)

 

[Scarlet]

Looking at it, the tl;dr is that it won't work for games with monstrously large save files, or games where the feature could be abused. It's fair enough to be honest.

 

[Wuigi]

Probably because there is a restore function that would enable pokemon cloning, etc.
Still stupid because you can backup all your saves for free and they are charging you money for a few MBs like we're in 2006.

 

[APartOfMe]

Of course they won't...

 

[PRAGMA]

Honestly surprised if anyone uses online paid, theres really no benefits apart from paying the $$$ for NES games...
This console actually fking sucks so far in terms of Game Library.
Barely any 1st-party games, its basically a trash dump for indies to put there games on

Oh well that’s what Edizon is for

Yea but that’s still pretty small compared to the other consoles. I know the switch is a year old but still it should have way more 1st party games.

I thought consoles thrived with their 3rd party games, which is why Nintendo couldn't compete. Funny how the discourse changes every time I read complaints about Nintendo.

 

[wiewiec]

Nintendo is pissing at all of gamers. Paying for sth that is insane. I they should rethink it again, even Google and Fcken Apple is ofering limited cloud space for free, and Nintendo wanna charge for cutted service

They do thrive from third party games. I’m just stating that they don’t have many 1st party games yet. I wasn’t really complaining cuz tbh I don’t really care. I’m more worried about Animal Crossing/Story of seasons being released more than anything.

 

[ShadowOne333]

So basically one player games only?
Lol

Keep supporting this kind of shit, guys.
If I were you, I would drop Nintendo hard in a boycott just for the whole way they are treating the userbase.

 

[chartube12]

Never was expecting it to work with Pokémon. But I am expecting a new bank to be available with Pokémon 19

Google also increases the free size of life time storage, if your fast enough to claim it when available.

Minecraft will have save backup and it's save files are calculated in gigabytes.

Either way, back on topic

This is weird and kinda dumb

 

[Closet Nerd]

I'm guessing <1% of users actually need cloud save support on their games. Stll, a paid service thingy should come with no strings attached. This is dumb.

 

[the_randomizer]

Cloud saves, please. Controlling how and when/where they back up is much better.
